BYZANTINE PENTANUMMIUM COIN PENDANT

IN 14KY GOLD 

One of the treasured rarities in ancient coins is the unique patinas they can develop over centuries of aging.  This Byzantine bronze "pentanummium" set in a  14KY gold pendant has one of the most beautiful green patinas, perfectly highlighting the detail of the coin.  Dating from the 5th to 7th century AD, this coin shows the Greek letter epsilon denoting 5 nummi (units of monetary measure).  The devotion of Byzantine coinage to Christianity is evident with a small cross off to the side of the "E".  Would also serve as an interesting piece for someone with an "E" as an initial.  Slightly over 1/2" in total diameter.
